Check the belt tension. It should deflect no more than 1/4" dead center of the belt. Start the engine and check the output of the alternator at the battery posts. It should be putting out 13.5-16 volts. Any less or more and it is bad. It that all checks out then the battery needs to be load tested at any auto parts store.
